We did not come to Earth

to live our lives alone.

We all need each other

from the moment we are born.

Our hearts beat side by side,

by side in tandem with
the ticking of the clock

we all must follow.

Life, love, work,

hand in hand, in hand.

This is the rhythm of the world,

and if we're to thrive,

we must dance to it together.

If we are forced to dance alone,

we may stumble, and then, fall.

I-Is this, erm,
the mother and baby clinic?

It is indeed.

However, I'm afraid I'm unable
to admit you until

the badminton club have departed,

and the hall has been
thoroughly aired.

Many apologies.

That's all right.

I'll sit on my suitcase.

And your address, Miss Brewer?

I know it's Cook Street, but...

What's taking so long?

Mrs Rowntree, we're going
as fast as we can.

Well, go faster!
Sally needs her booster,

and I've got places to be.

I don't know if it's 23 or 23A.

23 will suffice for the present.

And the name of your previous GP?

Er, it was Dr Malone.

I shall request your records.

Baby's kicking away, Mrs Demir.

It's nonstop!

My husband and I are from
neighbouring villages in Cyprus,

but I am Greek and he is Turkish.

It does sound an exceptionally
difficult situation.

There has been so much violence.

So much hate.

Well, I'm delighted to say

that everything's looking
shipshape with baby's position.

Are you uncomfortable, lass?

It's just an itch.

I have had to wear a pad.

Well, let's take a look, shall we?

See what's what.

You always work wonders,
Mrs Wallace.

We have to have you looking sharp

for your last few weeks in office.

I wish it was a few weeks.
It's only 16 days.

I've got so much to do.

Oh, that reminds me -

Palmers of Poplar have signed up
for the flower festival.

I shall add them to my list.

Is there anyone helping you
prepare for the baby?

Or when the baby arrives?

It's just us, Nurse.

And it's your first pregnancy.

Is that right, Arlene?

I've read all about it.

Been eating all my greens,
drinking lots of water,

and jotting down
when the baby moves a lot,

and when it's still.

That sounds fabulously organised.

Planning on a home,
or a hospital birth? Ohh!

It's all been planned for me.

I've been told I've got
to have it at St Cuthbert's.

By whom? And why?

My doctor.

I've got an appointment
there tomorrow.

Nearly done now.

I suspect that you have
a dose of thrush.

It's very common,
but it's not very comfortable.

Nurse Crane, if you could send
these swabs off as soon as possible?

Of course, Doctor.

Crumbs! That should be Monday,
not Tuesday.

I've signed up for a few extra
evenings at the homeless shelter.

Oh! You're in for a busy few weeks.

Hmm. With this volunteering
and your nursing duties,

you'll be working round the clock.

That's what coffee was designed for.

Every night, I would wait for
you to sing that song

outside my window,

and every night, you did.

I wanted you to know...

..I was thinking about you,

even when we were being kept apart.

The baby is falling asleep.

He loves it, too.

Morning, Miss Higgins.

We have just received
Arlene Brewer's medical file,

along with an accompanying letter.
From her doctor?

From her psychiatrist.

It appears Arlene's just
been released from

the Linchmere psychiatric hospital.

She said nothing about that at all.

Higher.

No, not so high!

Bring it down a couple of inches.

I said a couple, not six.

No-one's going to notice.

This event has to be special.

It's for all the people of Poplar.

It's also the last thing
that I'm doing as mayor,

so it needs to be perfect.

Up another couple of inches, then?

We've never had an expectant mother

straight from the Linchmere before.

I can't believe they didn't
inform us earlier.

Then, at least we could have
been ready for her.

Arlene Brewer's medical records
show that she was at

the Linchmere for four months.

They diagnosed her
with manic depression

after she was found...
"agitated and delusional",

and convinced that she was talking
to what the notes describe

as "a dead relative".

She then sank into a
deep depression.

She was guarded in clinic,
but she didn't seem unwell.

She's on a new drug called lithium.

It seems to have stabilised her.

Is that why she's having
the baby at St Cuthbert's?

Because they're concerned
about the side-effects?

There is a great deal of interest
in kidney function and blood counts,

but...I would say a lot less
interest in her mental state.

You need to be careful.

You're a big sister now.

Oh, you're very lucky.

Being a sister's
the best thing in the world.

I'm still learning to live
without mine.

That's poor little Zeta Demir
added to my rounds.

The swab results are in.

Thrush, as we suspected...

..and she's got gonorrhoea.

Gonorrhoea?

That's bad enough
at the best of times.

But in a pregnant mother!

Do these men never think?

You'd wonder, wouldn't you?

Make your way here at
the first signs of labour.

After the birth, both you and
the baby will be kept

under observation for two weeks.

Our midwives will help
with the bottle routine.

I was planning to breast-feed.

Will they teach me that? No.

Baby could become very unwell

if the lithium makes its way
into your milk.

Lithium - it's dangerous
to the baby?

Well, we don't yet know,

and we won't take risks.

Next.

Name? Eric Wilson.

Sister, I may need to see you
in private. Whatever for?

That is a beautiful scab!

When I...go,

it's like I'm peeing glass.

Take a seat at the back.
I will see you shortly.

What is gonorrhoea?

It is a type of venereal disease,

which means it is passed on
through sexual intercourse.

But I have only ever had sexual
intercourse with my husband.

If that's the case,

we have to assume that he has
picked it up from someone else.

But there has never been
someone else!

Well, there are questions
to be asked, lass,

and conversations to be had.

But for now, we need
to concentrate on treating you,

for baby's sake.
Will it harm the baby?

There is a possibility,
albeit small,

that the infection could be passed
to baby's eyes during birth.

But we're going to start antibiotic
injections straight away,

and book you into the maternity
home for your delivery,

just to be on the safe side.

I hope I haven't hurt you already.

There's never been anyone else.

Then how did you catch it?

The nurse said...

The nurse...knows nothing!

You know that we're together
all the time!

We are now.

You were alone in London for
three months before I arrived.

What about then?

There is no-one else! I swear!

I swear on my life! All right?

Now, let's leave it!

We need this swab to confirm it,

but I would put good money
on this being gonorrhoea.

Is that the same as syphilis? No.

But it is a venereal disease,

and it's spread in the same way.

Through sex.

You know, lad, sometimes when you
get lucky, you get unlucky.

We can sort it out.

Do you think you want
to tell anyone about this?

Your parents?

Oh, I'm in enough pain already.

Arlene! I didn't know
you were an artist.

I'm not. I've just always drawn
and painted since I was a kid.

Me and my sister were always
colouring something in.

Arlene, I'm here
to follow up on some notes

we've been sent by the Linchmere.

I should've told you I was
in the loony bin, shouldn't I?

You're a mother-to-be,
and I'm your midwife.

The more you tell me,
the more I can help you.

I wanted a fresh start.

I wanted people to look at me
like I was normal.

Well, if I ever do anything
other than that,

I hope you'll correct me.

Lots of mothers bottle-feed,

and lots of mothers bring up
babies on their own -

and I'm here
to help with all of that.

Will you go through
my lists with me?

I keep writing things down,
to help me keep track,

and then I lose track!

Don't we all!

Now, before we move on
to more general matters,

I've brought you some
Milk of Magnesia

and peppermint cordial to try.

I've been reading up on lithium,

and it seems it can cause
nausea and stomach upsets.

Will these hurt the baby?

Not at all.

And they may do you some good,
which is important.

I had to bring him in.
He'd practically made himself

a jockstrap out of toilet paper,

trying to deal with the discharge.

The boy's only 16 years old.

If he was 15,
we'd have to tell his mother.

Either way, he's got a
rip-roaring dose that wouldn't look

out of place in an Army sick parade.

And the trouble is,
he's not the only one.

Are cases on the rise again?

Yes, they are.
And I don't know why.

The church will be open for three
days before the flower festival

for the arrangements
to be dropped off.

Please ensure that you inform
Mayor Buckle when you do so.

All of Poplar's most important
organisations are contributing.

Well, sorry, but...
I have to disagree.

No-one's asked the homeless
shelter for an arrangement.

That does indeed sound
like an oversight.

Surely all of Poplar
should be represented?

I'm sure we can find space in
the church for one more arrangement.

Can I take a flyer?
I'm heading there now.

You'll be pleased to hear
that the Nonnatus flowers

will have pride of place
on the altar.

I'm afraid our arrangement
shall be quite modest.

We're all very busy with patients.

Not everyone.

This is not merely
a flower arrangement,

but a reflection of ourselves

and our place in the community.

I offer my services.

Good evening, sir.

I was worried I'd missed out.

Not at all.

There's plenty of soup...

..although you do have
the last bread roll.

Bread always fills a belly
better than any soup.

It's not enough
to just feed people, is it?

They need to be included.

Yes, they do.

Do you think there's
a way of involving them

in community life more?

I mean, by giving them the chance
to take part in ordinary things?

Not everyone would want to.

But some might.
What did you have in mind?

There's the flower festival,
for a start. Flower festival?

Just about every local
organisation and group

are submitting an arrangement.

I don't think the shelter's
even been asked.

You're right. They haven't.

These men are a group.
They might want to join in.

Gentlemen, this isn't the place.
Break it up!

You heard Mr Robinson!
Stop this now!

Have you got a minute?

I thought we could plan for our
mothercraft class next week.

Of course. Sorry, I just got
caught up doing some research.

Psychiatric disorders?
I was hoping there might be

something in here on treating
mothers with manic depression,

but there's virtually nothing.

Poor Arlene's just been left
to completely fend for herself.

No wonder she feels so anxious.

Would she like to come to
the mothercraft class?

At the very least,
she will feel less alone.

I thought you and Douglas
were friends.

No. Friends don't mean the same
when you're homeless.

We understand each other, but we...

..we mainly just look out
for ourselves.

I think most people mainly
look out for themselves.

Yeah.

More's the pity, eh?

Yes.

I used to work in Harrods. Harrods?

Window dresser.

And I'm telling you,
I saw more catfighting in

that line of work than I've ever
seen living on the streets.

What happened, Ted?

A wife happened. Erm...

..a child happened.

A house fire happened and...

..I lost them both.

I wish that hadn't happened
to you...

..and to them.

And I wish I could think
of something else to say,

other than "I'm sorry".

I went to the shop
and got a few more bread rolls.

That soup will be cold now.

There can't be any more
fighting, Ted.

If you keep breaking the rules,

the superintendent may say
you can't be admitted.

Good gracious, Sister,
what is this?

The chapel flowers.

I am conducting a study
on composition,

configuration, and proportion.

Sister Monica Joan,
Constance Spry used to say,

"One should arrange flowers
as the spirit moves one".

She must be a profoundly
indisciplined person.

There is science in this,

and probably mathematics.

Anyone with undiagnosed
or undetected gonorrhoea

is not going to just tip up
at the surgery

and declare themselves.

And that is why we are going
to try the latest tracing system.

They've tried this already
in Stepney.

Results were very mixed.

As the three official tracers,

we're going to speak to
every gonorrhoea patient of whom

we are aware, and try to find out
from whom they -

and to whom they may
have passed it on.

That will involve extremely
intimate interviews.

We then locate any identified
contacts and encourage them to

come in for testing and treatment.

Whilst blowing up families
hither and yon.

Potentially!

But we can't ignore
a major medical concern,

intimate interviews or not.

Argh! These flowers are
giving me the runaround.

They're refusing to bloom.

Well, if this don't work,
I'll put you in a bucket of water.

As you are undertaking
your own arrangement,

how do you select one flower
over another?

Well, I wanted this arrangement
to be a sort of tribute

to the end of Vi's year
of being mayor.

So, it's all going to be red,
to match her robe.

When I typed out
the names and addresses of all

our current gonorrhoea patients,

I divided them into separate groups.

Oh, whilst I have
furnished clipboards,

to aid efficiency, and also provided
copies of London's A to Z.

One sterilised feeding bottle.

Perfect! Oh!

Oh, I'm sorry!

Ohh...I'm just tired.

I barely got a wink of sleep
last night.

I wonder if you might be
better off spending some of your

maternity allowance on plastic
bottles and some Milton fluid.

It's a much simpler system.

What do normal mothers do?

Oh, Arlene,
you are a normal mother.

Will I have a normal baby?

There is no reason why your baby
isn't going to be as fit and well,

and healthy as everyone else's.

Things run in families,
don't they?

My sister was a sickly child.

When she grew up,
she died of cancer.

I was all right until I lost her...

..and then, I wasn't
all right at all.

What was your sister's name, Arlene?

Stella. That's beautiful.

Stella was beautiful.

And when she comes to me in
my dreams, she's like an angel.

That's why I hate it
when I can't sleep.

We can give you a prescription
to help with that.

We need you to be well rested...

No!

I take enough medicine as it is.

My wife, she's at the shop but,
er, she'll be back later.

Your wife is already under
the care of Dr Turner.

It is you that I am here to see.

What?

I need to make you
an appointment...

..for tests, at the surgery,

and to ask some questions about
your sexual contacts.

I cannot help you.
You have to leave.

I demand you leave!

Oh, right.

Yes...

Goodbye.

Afternoon, ma'am. Er, miss!

I haven't found anyone
to tame me yet.

I need some paints.

How much will this buy?

Now, Eric,

your swab did come back
positive for gonorrhoea.

You'll need to come into the surgery
for antibiotic injections.

And I must ask where you may
have picked up this infection.

I'm afraid a shrug will not do.

Untreated, this infection
can stop people

from being able to have babies.

Is that true?

Yes. I'm afraid so.

Is having children
a concern for you?

Not for me, my brother.

Last month, it was his stag night,
and we all...

We...

We went to a brothel.

Are you the proprietor
of this establishment?

I'm looking for someone.

I have a description
of the woman in question.

Tall, with dyed hair,

and a penchant for wearing
numerous bracelets.

I should inform you that
I am prepared to stand here

until you assist me.

This isn't a place for a lady.

I shall have to be quick, then.

I've spoken to the supervisor
at the shelter.

He is allowing you to return.

How did you manage that?

I told him it was very important
that you were there to help me

with an arrangement for
the flower festival.

You did say you were
a window dresser.

I can't believe you've
done that for me.

You're early.

Mrs Rowntree!

I'd rather you didn't use
my real name around here.

I had no idea,
no idea that you were...

What?

On the game? A disgrace?

That you were in trouble.

Trouble?

Trouble makes it sound like
there's an end in sight.

Do you know what this place is?

It's hell.

And no-one goes to hell willingly.

Not unless they got
no other option to survive.

Are you in any pain...

..down below?

Perhaps during intercourse?

A client of yours has reported
symptoms of a venereal disease.

Gonorrhoea.

I came to invite you to
Dr Turner's clinic for testing,

and to ask for details of anyone
you have had sexual contact with,

so that we may also trace them
for treatment.

I can't.

Dr Turner knows me as a mum.

Not like this.

I also know you as a mother.

A responsible one.

Sally never misses a booster
or an appointment.

She deserves a mother who is well.

Fine.

I'll go.

But trust me,
the other girls here won't.

And lots of them are suffering, too.

What if we were to bring
the clinic here?

To test and treat you all?

Goodnight, Frank,

and thank you for the lift,
as ever.

You're welcome.
Goodnight, Mrs Buckle.

You didn't half do well
tonight, Vi.

You had the entire Tradesmen's Guild
putting their hands

in their pockets to donate.

I still need to put
the milk bottles out.

I didn't have time
to rinse them before.

# There is always someone

# For each of us, they say

# And you'll be my someone

# Forever and a day

# I could search
the whole world over

# Until my life is through

# But I know I'll never find

# Another you

# It's a long, long journey

# So stay by my side

# When I walk through the storm,
you'll be my guide

# Be my guide

# If they gave me a fortune

# My pleasure would be small

# I could lose it all tomorrow

# And never mind it all

# But if I should lose your love,
dear

# I don't know what I'd do

# For I know I'll never find

# Another you... #

As your test
came back positive,

I'm afraid I must ask you
for the names of your clients.

I don't know any.

Same as they don't know mine.

Any description is useful.

There's one I can't forget.

I see him in my nightmares.

He says he's a foreman.

He brings groups of blokes
from his factory here.

I'm his favourite.

He always chooses me.

He used to be in the Army.

He says that means he knows
a million different ways to kill me,

and no-one would ever know.

He's got a large scar, just here.

I reckon it's where
the Devil marked him.

Terry nappies are cheaper
in the long run.

So, we are going to learn two
different ways of folding them,

and how to prevent nappy rash.

Sorry I'm late!

Oh, come right in,
we've only just started.

Take a table and a baby doll.

You've got one of our better-behaved
models, as it happens.

There's one whose legs come off
at the drop of a hat.

But I'm not saying which one
of you has it this afternoon.

All will be revealed.

By the end of this session,
you'll all be experts.

You'll be able to teach
friends or husbands.

Some of us don't have husbands.

Don't need 'em, don't want 'em!

And what we've found
in the brothels of Poplar

is a smorgasbord
of venereal diseases.

Two cases of syphilis,
three of pubic lice,

and no fewer than 11 tested positive
for our friend, gonorrhoea.

I will need to see them all
and treat them all.

We will also need
to treat their clients.

Most of the girls work
under false names,

and the men do the same -
or give no names at all.

I was twice told of
a factory foreman

who organises visits
for his workers.

I was told about him, too.

An enthusiastic customer himself,
by all accounts.

Were you told about his scar?

No.

Six to seven inches long,

slightly curved, and running
directly under the line

of the left ribs.

That sounds like
a splenectomy scar.

That's a really unusual procedure.

We should search our
own records for someone

who's had that surgery first.

I shall commence by identifying
all men of appropriate age,

and proceed as my findings dictate.

I'm so glad you came, Arlene.

Did you find it useful?

Oh, useful enough!

I've got a lot on,
getting everything ready.

But I picked up tips.
Lots of tips!

You're looking quite tired, sweetie.

Are you still not
sleeping very well?

No! Like I said, I've got a lot on!

Sweetie...

And stop calling me "sweetie",
like I'm a child!

Something's not right.

When are you seeing her again?

Tomorrow.

Ted, this design
is absolutely glorious.

Where did you get your inspiration?

Oh, erm, the streets
and bombsites, mainly.

Well, you wouldn't believe
what comes up through

the rubble and the rubbish.
Dandelions, cowslips.

E-Even poppies here and there.

Some things bloom where
we least expect them.

Do you think you could gather
everything we need

by Thursday afternoon?

Wild flowers can be a bit fragile.

Your wish is my command, madame!

Do you think he seems brighter?

Yes.

But this won't change his life,
Rosalind.

Did I say I thought it might?

I just don't want you
to be disappointed

if Ted can't see this through.

Which suggests you think I'm doing
this to make myself feel better.

And I can assure you, I'm not.

Got the wrong bloke.

I can assure you,
that is quite impossible.

Your medical records
speak for themselves.

Don't know what you're
talking about.

Then let me make it very clear.

You are breaking the law
by organising visits

to Argyll Street brothel.

We could report you to
the authorities at any time.

What do you want?

Your full cooperation in getting
your workers and yourself tested,

treated, and interviewed.

And I would highly suggest you
don't so much as look

in the direction of
Argyll Street again.

Right! All you men who've
been to Argyll Street

need to speak to her.

I know who you are, so no hiding,

or you'll lose a week's pay.

For testing, the address of
Dr Turner's surgery is on the back,

and we shall require the names
of all your sexual contacts.

Midwife calling!

Arlene? It's Nurse Aylward.

It's open!

My goodness, what's happened?

Isn't it beautiful?

It's the best thing
I've ever painted!

Only the best for my baby.

It's going to love it!

Arlene, just breathe.

Just breathe.

How long have you been
having these pains?

It's the first thing it'll see
when it wakes up every day.

Lions and tigers!

A magical jungle.

Let's get you lying down and
see what's going on.

Mm! Arlene!

Have you been taking your tablets?

Arlene, look at me, you've stopped
taking your lithium, haven't you?

It's so bright!

The colours...

The beautiful animals in
the misty canopy.

Can you hear them?

They're so loud!

I see. I'm going to fetch
the doctor.

Stay right where you are.

In Cyprus, our families
found our love obscene,

so my parents sent me here
to separate us.

I thought I would never see
Zeta again.

And for me,
there was no reason to live.

The foreman was organising
trips to the brothel...

..and I went.

I went once.

I thought it would help me forget.

Then there was a knock at
the door a few days later -

my beautiful, brave Zeta.
She found me.

We were married straight away.

Were you experiencing
symptoms at the time?

The doctor gave me medicine.
I thought I was cured.

I never meant to hurt my wife.

You are hurting her now...

..by refusing to do the
honourable thing and be tested.

Dr Turner, please, could you come
straight to Arlene Brewer?

She's in labour, and I'm afraid
she's having an episode of mania.

Go straight back to her.
I'm leaving now.

I've done it, I've coaxed them out!

A sprinkle of sugar never fails.

Now we're all shipshape
for your grand finale!

Fred...

..I've just had a phone call
from the council.

Erm, the incoming mayor
has been taken ill.

It looks like the big C.

That's bad.

It's terrible for him
and his family.

And it's not very good
for us either.

Well, they've asked if I'd serve
a second term as mayor.

It's an honour, I suppose.

I'm exhausted, Fred.

We're both exhausted.

I'm going to have to tell them
I just haven't got it in me.

Arlene!

Arlene!

What? What?

The pains have started.

The baby is on its way.
Why didn't you send for me?

Because I don't trust you any more!

I know, Mehmet.

I know there is another woman.

There isn't, it's not like that.

But I want you to know the truth.

Now?!

After I was sent here...

..I thought I would never
see you again.

A-And...

And? And what?

You found someone else?

I paid someone else.

I'm sorry.

Sorry is not enough!

We've got to get in there.

Are you all right, Arlene?

Go away!

Go away! I know why you're here!

You're going to get me
locked up again!

Arlene, all we're concerned
with now is helping you

to deliver your baby.

That's it, Arlene.

Slow, steady breaths.

This will pass.

I could add more flowers.

You like flowers.

No, more trees,

because the jungle
is all trees, isn't it?

Arlene, listen to me.

We're going to have all the time in
the world to talk about the mural,

but right now, I need you to listen
to me so that I can help you...

More trees than flowers.

Lots more.

Listen to Nurse Aylward now.
She knows best.

You'll be an auntie, Stella!

I'm going to be a mum!

Arlene, I just need to examine you

so I can see how close this baby is.

That's it, Arlene.

I can feel baby's head.

Now, Arlene, push!

Push for baby!

Push as hard as you can!

Push now, lass.

Everything.

I left everything for him.

And look at what he's done!

Zeta, love, I know your heart
is broken as a wife.

But you're not only a wife any more.

You're about to become a mother.

Baby needs you to be strong.

I can't do this on my own.

Is it out? Is it out?

Just as I said,
the head's been delivered.

It's been resting in my hand
for the last two pushes.

It won't go back in?
No. It won't go back in.

But we need you to keep pushing
with every contraction.

Long, strong pushes!

Now! Now, Arlene!

Try moving her into
the left lateral.

Arlene, we need you
to move you onto your side.

I can't move! We'll help you.

And we'll all be helping the baby.

Arlene, push!

On her back.

Now, this time,
when Nurse Aylward says "push",

I'm going to be helping you.

Now, Arlene, push!

Push!

That's it. That's it!

Well done!

You have a beautiful daughter.

We did it! I'm a mum, Stella!

She's gorgeous!

She really is.

Can I please...?
Can I hold her now?

You've done so well.

But you know we'll have to take you
both to hospital, don't you?

That's why I wanted to hold her.

There's no rush.

Baby's coming quite fast, Zeta.

Short, sharp breaths.

Short, sharp breaths.

That's the ticket.

It's a boy!

I love him. I love him.

He's a little champ.

And so are you.

I'll go back to Nonnatus
and write up my notes.

And I'll speak to Mr Parry
and her psychiatrist.

They'll send her back to
the Linchmere, won't they?

I hope not...and I hope so.

She really is very, very ill.

I thought I'd see
how you were getting on.

Where's Ted?

He only called me madame
once or twice,

but I thought if he gave me
a nickname,

it meant he trusted me.

You were right.

I enjoyed thinking
I was helping him.

It was arrogant of me,

and it was selfish.

You showed him respect.

That was not arrogant.

And you gave him a purpose,
however briefly.

That was not selfish.

I just wanted to show him
he mattered.

We can still do that.

You must be exhausted.

I heard what happened.

Arlene should never have
ended up in that position.

How on earth was
she supposed to stay well?

The odds were stacked against
her right from the start.

I feel inclined to
write to Margaret Myles

and ask for more information
about mental illness

to be included in midwifery texts.

Why don't you?

Because it's too late
to help Arlene.

The baby will go into foster care.

They haven't told her yet.

I'm not sure how she'll bear it.

This arrived for you today.

It has an American postmark.

It's a lock of Jonty's hair.

You must miss him terribly.

I do.

He is...

You are both so beautiful.

So far, baby's eyes seem
clear of infection.

We'll keep cleaning them
as a precaution.

As long as everyone stays well,

we'll be releasing
Mrs Demir and baby

at the end of the week.

Thank you.

You should know...

..I will be returning as a mother

who wants her son
to know his father.

I am not coming home as your wife.

A wife is something you earn,
you cherish.

Not someone you hurt and
break with lies.

And I will do whatever you need

and I...

..I hope I can become the man
that you deserve.

I have a civil engineering degree.
I know about structures,

and I can do things with girders,
but this...

Maybe that's where
we're going wrong.

Bluebells might be quite responsive
to a bit of riveting,

and we could apply some tensile
force to the daisies.

How do you know about tensile force?

One way and another,

I helped a great many teenaged
boys with their homework,

two of whom went on
to become civil engineers.

But not florists.

No.

And not social workers either.

Give it to me.

I think we've turned the corner.

What do you think Ted would say?

I think he'd say it is beautiful.

I should go and open the doors.

It's almost time.

Take a seat, please.
Dr Turner will see you soon.

I have a very important question
I want to ask you all.

It's regarding
the Nonnatus arrangement.

I want to include everyone's
favourite spring flower.

Mine is crocus.

I've always liked bluebells.

Oh, I cannot be part of
the arrangement.

I am not one of the nurses,
nor one of the nuns.

Nonnatus House could function
very well without me.

Preposterous!

Look at everything you've done

with this contact tracing.

I've seen 15 factory workers
since yesterday afternoon.

You are an integral part
of our work.

You are as important
as any one of us.

Well, then, lily of the valley.

Hello, Arlene. Nurse Aylward.

Is something wrong with the baby?

No, baby's doing wonderfully well.

I've come to talk you through
what happens next.

The doctors keep coming in and out.

I don't know what
some of them are for.

I've spoken to Mr Parry and
to your psychiatrist,

and I wanted to make sure
that you're happy

with what's being proposed.

They haven't proposed anything.

They just decided it.

So, you understand that you're
going back to the Linchmere,

and you have to keep taking lithium?

I only stopped because I was
trying to protect my baby.

I know.
And it didn't work, did it?

Because they're going
to take her away!

Arlene, the social worker
is going to visit you later on.

She's going to explain everything
about the foster care arrangement.

But who's going to explain it
to my baby?

You can.

Well, it's a bit dirty
from being in the shed,

but I reckon it'll scrub up
just fine.

It's my speech
for the flower festival.

I don't know how to end it.

Whether to say I will be continuing

or retiring as mayor.

What have you got so far?

The tenement improvements.

The prevention of
accidents campaign.

And two new playschemes.

Just bits and pieces, really.

That's not just bits and pieces, Vi.

That's great big changes
for the better.

Hmm. You can't stop now.

But how would we manage
another year?

Another year of me going hell
for leather after everything.

You'd manage.

We'd manage,

because when you get tired,

I'll carry you.

Oh, Fred.

Really?

In a manner of speaking.

I mean, if I put my back out,
I'll be no good to you, will I?

My, my, this is a beauty.

It was inspired by
a member of the shelter.

Rosalind and I just finished it off.

You seem to be spending more and
more time at the shelter.

When we are alone,

we seek to fill our evenings
with activities.

It makes them pass more quickly.

More bearable.

When I got married,

I didn't think I'd find myself
alone so much of the time.

In our congregation, Mr Emil
has been here for 30 years,

and you know how many times
he's seen his wife in that time?

Four.

They make it work,

because they want to be
husband and wife.

Would you like to hold her?

Am I allowed?

You're absolutely allowed,

because I'm allowing it.

I'm sorry, little one.

Don't tell her you're sorry.

Tell her that you love her.

Love you.

I love you.

I love you more...

I love you like I never knew before,

like I never knew I could.

You don't even have to love me back,

because I am going
to love you every day,

all the time, every waking moment

till you're in my arms again.

Will this get better?

Yes...because you will get better.

She's got such pretty hair.

We need to get our skates on,

if we don't want to miss
the opening.

Nurse Crane's gone on ahead
to take photos of the flowers.

I'm not coming, Rosalind.

Not coming?

Well, I suppose you wouldn't be,

if you're going somewhere
with a suitcase.

Are you going on a course?
You didn't say.

I've accrued a lot of leave
since I started this job,

and I've decided to take it.

Where are you going?

Jamaica.

To visit my wife.

It's too long since I've seen her.

You must miss her.

And she must miss you.

The ocean feels very wide sometimes.

All the more reason to
make the journey.

Yes.

Have a safe trip.

Sister Monica Joan,
I'm really impressed.

I am merely a conduit in God's work.

But one can't help but marvel

at the infinite variety
of His creation.

Nor the infinite love of friendship.

Testing! Yes.

Ooh!

Ahem.

A year ago, I became
Mayor of Tower Hamlets,

a borough full of hope, of ambition,

and more than a bit of lip.

You've certainly kept me busy.

Thankfully, I've had more
than a bit of help.

If you ask me, this place,

our borough,
is the very best of London,

and it gives me great
pleasure to announce

that I will be serving you
for one more year.

And so, as my last act
as outgoing mayor,

and my first act as incumbent mayor,

I now declare
the flower festival open!

Sometimes there's no hand

to take ours, or to hold it.

The heart beats on,
apparently alone.

But hope is never lost
to us completely.

It can hang by the finest
and most delicate of threads,

surviving somehow, just as we do.

Hope is the ribbon
that transfigures everything.

It can transform wild weeds
into a posy.

It can bind separate energies
into a potent force.

Hope ties us, hope secures us,

and life unites us all.

How have you been finding
the catheter?

I just look in my trousers.

Vending machines?

And you think this will catch on?

Oh, yeah, business is booming,
innit, Norm?

We aren't dirty, Nurse.

Honey, you're doing your best.

But without their vow of poverty,

you could not carry out
essential work!
